### 2/5 — Infuriating trash

*2026-08-02, version 1.8.5*

This game is a poor imitation of similar hole games, hard to control. No sound effects.  Movement is too jerky.

### 1/5 — Asking for location data

*2026-07-18, version 1.8.5*

Farming personal data. Read the privacy policy. Don’t play it. don’t let Your kids play it.

### 1/5 — False advertising

*2026-06-28, version 1.8.5*

Terrible, the “no adverts purchase” doesn’t work and you still require to watch videos to get everything!
Even watching the videos well past the “reward given” part it still does not grant the x2 effect!
Offline earning doesn’t work period!!!

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2026-06-18, version 1.8.5*

Watching ads to double your idle rewards is broken, you watch the ad and end up getting nothing. All their ads are scams, you never get the reward.

### 1/5 — Faron

*2026-06-13, version 1.8.5*

Just got it doesn’t even work

### 1/5 — Said 3 days free then $7 a week but charged $12 instantly

*2026-05-20, version 1.8.5*

Said 3 days free then $7 a week but charged $12 instantly

### 1/5 — Too many issues

*2026-05-19, version 1.8.5*

- Forced ads at intervals? ✓
- Bugs in gameplay? ✓
- Choose to watch an ad and don’t receive the reward? ✓
- boost(nos) mechanic makes you earn less than if you didn’t use it? ✓

This is one of the worst, most money hungry, and buggiest games I’ve played in a phone ever.

### 1/5 — Too many issues

*2026-05-11, version 1.8.5*

- Forced ads at intervals? ✓
- Bugs in gameplay? ✓
- Choose to watch an ad and don’t receive the reward? ✓

### 1/5 — Disappointing game with matching service

*2026-05-07, version 1.8.5*

I tried this game because I really liked the original non-idle version.  I spent the $2.99 to be ad fee before figuring out that this game is really boring.  The ads are at least as bad, if not worse now.  I’m certainly not ad-free.  I’ve emailed support twice with zero response. Still waiting for a refund.  

Don’t waste your time.

### 1/5 — DO NOT use IAP

*2026-04-09, version 1.8.5*

In-app purchase was never received AND you will still be bombarded with ads even if you click the non-ad options in the game.
